Madonna defined the 80s with classic, chart topping hits like "Like A Virgin", "Material Girl", "Holiday", "Borderline", "Lucky Star", "Crazy For You", "Into The Groove", "Papa Don't Preach", "Open Your Heart", "Live To Tell", "La Isla Bonita", "True Blue", "Dress You Up", "Burning Up", "Who's That Girl", "Cherish", "Like A Prayer", "Express Yourself", etc.



Madonna has sold 300 million albums worldwide, earning her the title of the top selling female artist of all time from the Guiness Book Of World Records. Madonna is the best selling female rock artist of the 20th century, and is the 2nd top selling female artist in the United States behind Barbra Streisand, with 64 million in sales.



In 2008, Billboard ranked Madonna #2, behind only The Beatles, on the Billboard hot 100 all time artists chart, making her the most successful solo artist in the history of the Billboard chart.

Time magazine named Madonna as one of the 25 most powerful women of the past century.

One of my niece's friends called Madonna the "Lady GaGa of the 80s".

Melis

Hmm. Not sure I agree with that.
